I couldn't think of a better title. On the day after Christmas 2 barges broke loose from the port where they were tied with too short a rope for the high water resulting from all the rain on Christmas day and floated into the dam here at my city on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. I went out that day and made some photos and then went back last Monday around sunset and made more photos after one that was full of soybeans sank. I used "mostly" Exposure 7 and Nik Color Efex to change the color and add contrast.
They couldn't remove them until the water went down plus they had to bring in equipment by water that took 5 days but on Tues. they removed the top one that was empty and on Wed. they removed the other one. Only one floodgate was damaged on the dam which will be repaired in summer when the threat of flooding is very low.
